Cornelius Driver Jr., 23, was shot and killed on the afternoon of Tuesday, January 27, 2015, near the intersection of Wilson Avenue and Grover Street in South Rome, Georgia. He suffered multiple gunshot wounds, was taken to Floyd Medical Center, and was pronounced dead. Reports say he was shot in the back while trying to flee, then shot repeatedly as he lay in the street.

Investigators identified a single suspect, 16-year-old Niazua Nigel Brown, who was captured the morning of January 28, 2015, at a motel in Cartersville and charged as an adult. Prosecutors said the motive was a desire for dominance, with testimony that Brown wanted to be seen as the baddest. Brown later pleaded guilty and received a life sentence plus five years for a firearms possession charge; he is not eligible for parole for at least 30 years.

Did anyone in the South Rome area remember seeing or hearing anything around Wilson Avenue and Grover Street that afternoon?
